As the crow flies
I made an artist book “As The Crow Flies” for my exhibit at the Caplan Art Designs Gallery– opening Oct 3 – my book was inspired when I realized that with 8 independent bookstores and 12 public library branches in the town where I live that wherever I go in town I’m within about 2…

Ducks in a row
This painting that I began in my last post was inspired by one of my nephews who teased me, gently, about saying so often during our family domino games that I “need a minute to get my ducks in a row”. Apparantly I tend to focus on our family conversations during our games rather than…

community creatures and why a book too
Here are more pages from my “Running Around Loose” sketchbook – link to the ebook here – and the fine art pieces they inspired. These are in a current exhibit, titled “Community Creatures” at The Anstine Gallery. I don’t think an artist’s life has to be too mysterious – so I show my sketchbooks when…

community creatures running loose at the Anstine Gallery
The art was delivered to the Anstine Gallery this morning. The snow I’d worried about in my last post wasn’t a problem! (Whew!) The Anstine Gallery is located in a government building in Vancouver so I’m doing what I often do – trying to make people in serious places laugh. Adults in general, I find, tend…
